Rambo II does to a degree, but I was nearing high school upon that film's release. However, it all started for me with the theme and underscore for The Six Million Dollar Man. I can also say that The Great Escape and The Sand Pebbles are huge childhood memories for me, and they're before my time. I was a big Steve McQueen fan growing up and held his characters in the same regard as my generation did Harrison Ford, only McQueen was cooler.    Posted:   Feb 15, 2015 - 10:31 AM     By:   Reeve   (Member) For me it's..... Superman IV: The Quest For Peace Superman III Superman II Superman: The Movie Don't forget...... Star Wars: A New Hope The Empire Strikes Back Return Of The Jedi    Posted:   Feb 15, 2015 - 10:38 AM     By:   bobbengan   (Member) Mine is a slightly more eclectic variety. THE DARK CRYSTAL as an overall score for one, as well as Richard Band's lyrical main title cue for TROLL, the dynamic bulldozer rescue music Robert Folk wrote for TREMORS (one of the first film scores I really took note of) and Horner's whimsical, wistful closing titles of BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS - Especially once those high, "rolling" strings come in.    Posted:   Feb 15, 2015 - 10:51 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) The same scores most here of a certain age claim as favorites: Star Wars; Superman: the Movie; The Empire Strikes Back; Raiders of the Lost Ark; Return of the Jedi.

Both were my very first orders from Soundtrack Album Retailers as a freshman in high school in 1977. An odd pairing looking back, but those two were the ones I wanted at the time. I still have both of those and on occasion when I pull them out of the cabinet I can still remember pushing the cash and coins across the kitchen table one morning long ago and asking my Mother to please cut a personal check for me. Remember filling out those paper order forms by hand with the columns that were the last pages stapled to the back of the catalog and listing the titles and figuring out the shipping? The simple joys of long ago.    Posted:   Feb 15, 2015 - 11:59 AM     By:   shureman   (Member) Flying Disc Man from Mars (1951) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXvytGnxE3I    Posted:   Feb 15, 2015 - 12:37 PM     By:   nerfTractor   (Member) For me, its Superman 1 and 2. Williams's Superman was the very first thing I thought of too.    Posted:   Feb 15, 2015 - 12:43 PM     By:   Brandon Brown   (Member) STAR WARS (A New Hope) always does it for me. JURASSIC PARK, as well.    Posted:   Feb 15, 2015 - 12:53 PM     By:   RoryR   (Member) 2001 a space odyssey at radio city music hall When was 2001 playing at Radio City Music Hall? Must have been for a reissue, because in 1968, it wasn't playing there. It opened in NYC at the Loews Capitol Theatre in April, but that theatre was closed and torn down in September of '68. Where 2001 went from there, I'd have to search the web for, but as far as I know, 2001 never played at Radio City. I know, I'm nitpicking, but....    Posted:   Feb 15, 2015 - 12:53 PM     By:   Morricone   (Member) A kid? Hard to say. As a kid soundtrack collecting wasn't around much and I had not a clue if it was. I suppose SUPERMAN. No NOT the Williams, the TV series that I saw as a kid. These library music pieces and original themes whirl in my psyche and hits instant recognition when I hear it. When Varese released it the memories rushed in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2l4bz1FT8U You will notice the opening fanfare contains the 3 note SU-PER-MAN way back in the 50s.    Posted:   Feb 15, 2015 - 1:58 PM     By:   jenkwombat   (Member) Of course "Star Wars: A New Hope". Also, "King Kong" (1933), which I watched every time it was broadcast while I was growing up -- if I ever really did grow up. "Jaws" and "Superman: The Movie" also come to mind.    Posted:   Feb 15, 2015 - 5:22 PM     By:   rich.sherrill   (Member) Hoyt Curtin's main- and end-titles to 'Jonny Quest' (1964).    Posted:   Feb 15, 2015 - 5:50 PM     By:   John-73   (Member) The original Star Wars trilogy. Raiders of the Lost Ark & Temple of Doom. Superman. The Black Hole. Moonraker. The Spy Who Loved Me. Battle Beyond the Stars. Star Trek The Motion Picture + an extra shout out for Geoff Love's sci-fi albums too! Any of those scores instantly transport me back to some of the happiest days of my life. Ahhhh to be a whipper-snapper again!    Posted:   Feb 15, 2015 - 6:48 PM     By:   joec   (Member) 2001 a space odyssey at radio city music hall When was 2001 playing at Radio City Music Hall?

It was a reissue, actually a special one week Music Hall 70mm engagement in 1975. After the Loews Capitol Theatre closed (I saw 2001 during its last week at the Loews Capitol), the reserved seat 2001 engagement continued another 3 or 4 months further down Broadway at the Warner Cinerama, which closed in 1986.    Posted:   Feb 15, 2015 - 6:54 PM     By:   SBD   (Member) Weird list, but what can you do: Boddicker's THE ADVENTURES OF MILO AND OTIS Morris's HIGH ANXIETY Fox's NINE TO FIVE Shire's SHORT CIRCUIT    Posted:   Feb 15, 2015 - 10:10 PM     By:   John Black   (Member) HATARI!
